Gravity Falls: The Weirdmageddon Chronicles

Chapter 1: Tourist Trapped

Act I

It all began with a shot of the sun. A boy named Dipper started to narrate.

"Ah, summer break.", Dipper narrated as Hank was then grilling burgers while Shmipper and Smabble were running around and laughing beside him while others sat at a picnic table.

"So, you want cheese on that, hon?", Hank asked.

"Sure, Hank.", Hank's wife responded.

"The season for fun in the sun and relaxing with friends.", Mabel added while narrating.

Then, it stopped at the "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign.

"Unless, of course, you're us.", Christie added.

Suddenly, Christie, Mabel, and Dipper Pines crashed through the "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign with the Mystery Cart, screaming. They were being chased by an unknown monster, which is knocking down trees.

"It's getting closer!", Mabel shouted, looking back.

The monster growled and tried to catch the cart but just fell short. The cart then flew off a rock and landed roughly.

"My name is Dipper, Dipper Pines.", Dipper said before the first female narrator spoke.

"The girl that's about to puke, that's me, Mabel's the name.", Mabel introduced herself before the second female narrator spoke.

"The look alike next to her with the black hair and blue eyes is me. I'm Christie, nice to meet ya." Christie introduced.

Then the monster threw a tree in their path.

"Look out!" Mabel shouted out with Christie screaming in terror.

Then as they screamed, the image of them screaming froze as they ran into the screen.

"You may be wondering why we're fleeing for our lives in a golf cart from a creature of unimaginable horror." Dipper asked rhetorically to the audience.

"There's a perfectly logic and reasonable explanation for it so rest assured." Christie said to the audience.

"It all began a few weeks ago." Mabel started to explain to the audience.

Opening Theme:

The sequence began with a forest view and Paul Bunyan's statue alongside a water tower. Transition to the bus, the twins and their sister, Christie, visit the Mystery Shack and meet their great-uncle while the Mystery Shack's logo is broken down with the letter "S". The trio stepped inside to see all the mysterious stuff and later saw two footprints alongside their great-uncle on a rainy day, one of which was larger than the other. Then, it transitioned to a forest view and a vane with a question mark on it, but the word, "WHAT" is added.

DIPPER

Dipper used a candle to see the horned, skeleton animal, which spooked him into dropping his candle in fright.

MABEL

Then, Mabel hugged a pig and later lit her colored sweater with her name on it at the shack.

CHRISTIE

First, she, Soos, and Wendy hung out together while going crazy with Crazy String and Whipped Cream on each other and was, later, reading a book.

STAN

The great-uncle, or grunkle for short, in question was rushing with a cash register at night and even wearing an eye patch back at the shack.

Afterwards, the characters were in a campfire and being scared of a beast that Stan was talking about in his scary story (though, Dipper and Christie were more piqued with curiosity and Wendy, the red-haired woman with a green flannery jacket, was unimpressed), unaware it's actually real as the fire showed its face as it was hiding beneath a tree. Wendy was in the gift shop of the shack and the eyeballs in the jar moved, suddenly. Christie was pointing a decoder when suddenly, she, and the twins started floating in a room, but similar to a space setting. Then, a montage of photos were set down, and the show's logo appeared, before glitching upside-down, and briefly showing an image with the Bill Cipher Zodiac before fading out.

Act II

Dipper, Mabel, and Christie were in the golf cart screaming when it froze at the same moment as before.

"Let's rewind, shall we?", Mabel asked.

Then, suddenly everything rewound back to the events from the beginning and past that before it stopped with Dipper and Mabel in their living room at home.

"It all started when Mom and Dad decided we could use some fresh air. They dropped us off up north to some place called Gravity Falls, Oregon to stay at our Grunkle's place in the woods.", Mabel explained as her and Dipper's parents took their stuff away, gave them bags, and put some sunscreen on their noses before showing a map of Oregon, which had Gravity Falls on it, before going to said town.

Mabel was now in the attic hanging up posters.

"This attic is amazing. Check out all my splinters!", Mabel said, holding up hands, which had gigantic splinters sticking out of them.

Then, Christie entered the room, catching the twins' attention.

"And this is where I come in.", Christie narrated.

"Sorry about the attic, guys. None of us thought anyone would sleep in there.", Christie apologized.

"Aw, no problem. By the way, who are you?", Mabel asked, turning to her.

"I'm Christie Pines. And that's my twin sister, Mistie. We're Uncle Stan's nieces, so I guess that makes us... cousins?", Christie asked.

Hearing this, Mabel exclaimed in shock.

"Oh… My… Gosh… YOU'RE OUR GROUSINS!", Mabel shouted.

Both older twins looked at her, confused.

"Grousins?", Christie asked.

"Yeah. Great-Cousins, Grousins.", Mabel explained.

Christie and Mistie just nodded in agreement before the former spoke up.

"But listen. When we're down in the shack and people see us, just pretend we're his daughters.", Christie whispered.

"Why?", Dipper puzzled.

"It's complicated.", Christie responded while Dipper backed up into his bed, which a goat named Gompers was on.

"And there's a goat on my bed.", Dipper said.

"Hey, friend.", Mabel greeted as she held out her arm.

But Gompers just started chewing on her sleeve.

"Oh! Yes, you can keep chewing on my sweater.", Mabel said before laughing.

Dipper, though, was not pleased.

"My sister tended to look on the bright side of things.", Dipper narrated.

Then, it showed Mabel rolling around and going down a hill of grass as Mistie was doing extra credit work for the summer.

"Yay! Grass!", Mable cheered.

As for Dipper, a woodpecker pecked on Dipper's hat as Christie was looking around.

"But unlike Christie, I was having a hard time getting used to our new surroundings.", Dipper narrated.

Suddenly, a man named Stan Pines jumped out at him, wearing a scary mask.

"Boo!", Stan shouted, frightening Dipper as he fell over before he took his mask off and laughed only to notice, as Dipper was glaring at him, that he got no reaction from Christie.

"Hey, what gives? Why didn't you scream?", Stan asked.

"Nice try, Grunkle Stan.", Christie glared.

"Eh, you're no fun. Good thing I finally got somebody, though.", Stan said before laughing as Christie glared, too.

"And then, there was our Great Uncle Stan. That guy.", Christie narrated as Stan slapped his knee and laughed again right before coughing several times and hitting his chest.

"It was worth it.", Stan said.

Later, Stan was leading tourists through the Mystery Shack.

"Our uncle had transformed his house into a tourist trap he called 'The Mystery Shack.' The real mystery was why anyone came.", Dipper narrated before a Jackalope's antler broke off.

"Ladies and gentlemen, behold! The Sascrotch!", Stan announced, showing a Sasquatch wearing underwear.

Tourists started speaking excitedly, and snapped pictures while Dipper and Christie were sweeping the wooden floor with a broom and Mabel and Mistie were looking at stuff, the latter of which was bored.

"And guess who got to work there.", Mabel narrated excitedly as Dipper sighed.

"Ooh!", Mabel spoke, reaching for the large eyeball.

But Stan slapped her hand with his 8-ball cane.

"No touching the merchandise!", Stan shouted.

Then, it showed Soos driving the Mystery Cart to the Mystery Shack as Christie narrated.

"See the guy driving the cart? That's Soos. He means well, but sometimes, he can be a little-", Christie began before Soos got off the golf cart.

But when he did, the golf cart started backing away, prompting Soos to turn around out of puzzlement and then exclaim in shock before running after it just as Wendy noticed and giggled a bit before reading the magazine as Christie continued.

"Slow minded. And then, there's the actual smart one, Wendy. She's a really cool person and a fantastic friend. It's too bad she prefers to hang out with a different crowd.", Christie narrated.

"It looked like it was gonna be the same, boring routine all summer. Until one fateful day...", Dipper added, narrating as Mabel peeked through Stan-bobbleheads.

"He's looking at it! He's looking at it!", Mabel whispered excitedly as a boy was seen looking at Mabel's note.

"Uh.. 'Do you like me?'. 'Yes'? 'Definitely'? 'Absolutely!'?", the boy puzzled before he looked around.

"I rigged it!", Mabel grinned.

"Mabel, I know you're going through your whole 'Boy Crazy' phase, but I think you're kind of overdoing it with the 'crazy' part.", Dipper commented, spraying a jar with water and wiping it.

"What?", Mabel reacted, blowing a raspberry afterwards.

"Come on, Dipper! This is our first summer away from home! It's my big chance to have an epic summer romance!"

"Yeah, but do you need to flirt with every guy you meet?", Dipper asked.

"Is that what one of those times was about? I was there for that.", Christie realized.

"Where do I even start?", Dipper asked exasperatedly.

To start off a series of flashbacks, Mabel was with a boy near a greeting cards display as Christie was one day getting said greeting cards.

"My name is Mabel, but you can call me 'The girl of your dreams.' I'M JOKING!", Mabel said before shoving him into the display and laughing, much to Christie's discomfort as she winced and shook her head.

In another flashback, a boy was holding a turtle on a bench when Mabel jumped up behind him.

"Oh my gosh, you like turtles? I like turtles too! What is happening here?", Mabel asked in amazement.

Then, the next one took place inside of a mattress store.

"Come one, come all, to the Mattress Prince's kingdom of savings!", the Mattress King said.

But suddenly, Mabel, hiding behind a set of colorful balloons, popped out her head and whispered.

"Take me with you...", Mabel whispered, frightening the Mattress King into cowering away from Mabel whilst dropping his scepter.

Back to the present...,

"Mock all you want, brother, but I got a good feeling about this summer. I wouldn't be surprised if the man of my dreams walked through that door right now.", Mabel smirked.

Unfortunately for her, Stan walked through the door and burped, but it got caught in his throat.

"Oh! Oh, not good. Ow.", Stan groaned.

"Aww, why?!", Mabel groaned as Dipper laughed.

"All right, all right, look alive, people. I need someone to go hammer up these signs in the spooky part of the forest.", Stan requested.

"Not it!", Dipper said quickly.

"Not it!", Mabel added just as quickly.

"Uh, also not it.", Soos added as he was drilling something.

"Nobody asked you, Soos.", Stan said, not impressed.

"I know, and I'm comfortable with that.", Soos said before eating a chocolate bar.

"Wendy, I need you to put up this sign!", Stan ordered.

Wendy, however, just pretended to reach for the signs.

"I would, but I, ugh, can't, ugh, reach it, ugh...", Wendy fibbed, just reaching her arm out as far as she could without having to move from the chair.

"I'd fire all of you if I could. All right, let's make it... eenie, meenie, miney... you.", Stan said, pointing to Dipper.

"Aw, what? Grunkle Stan, whenever I'm in those woods, I feel like I'm being watched.", Dipper began.

"Ugh, this again.", Stan groaned, placing his fingers on his forehead.

"I'm telling you, something weird is going on in this town. Just today, my mosquito bites spelled out 'BEWARE.'", Dipper added, gesturing to the Mosquito bites on his arm.

Stan looked at Dipper's arm.

"That says 'BEWARB.'", Stan said before Dipper noticed this and scratched his arm out of slight embarrassment, if not because his arm was itchy.

"Look, kid. The whole 'monsters in the forest' thing is just local legend, drummed up by guys like me to sell merch to guys like that.", Stan explained, gesturing towards a fat, sweaty man laughing while looking at a Stan-bobblehead's head bobble.

"So quit being so paranoid!", Stan shouted as he gave Dipper the signs, making him sigh.

"Uh, how about I go with him to help hang the signs up?", Christie offered.

"That... actually sounds like a good idea.", Dipper responded, slightly surprised.

"Well, the more, the merrier. NOW, GET GOING!", Stan shouted.

Later, at a foggy forest, trees were getting blown by the wind as both Dipper and Christie hung up signs that said, "To the Mystery Shack" and pointed the way to said shack.

"Ugh, Grunkle Stan. Nobody ever believes anything I say.", Dipper groaned.

"That's not true. I believe it.", assured Christie.

"Well, thanks, Christie. It's nice to know that.", Dipper responded.

Just then, Dipper started to hammer a nail on another tree trunk, but it made a metallic sound. Curious, he tapped the tree with the hammer, which made more metallic sounds. He wiped some of the dust away and opened an apparent secret window, revealing a mechanical box with two control switches on top. He tested one control but nothing happened. When he tried the other, though, just behind him, a hole opened up in the ground, scaring Gompers away as he bleated and ran away.

"What the?", Dipper puzzled.

They both looked inside the hole, and there was a book. The sight of it sent chills to Christine, whose eyes were widened in shock and a little fear.

"I don't think we should do this.", Christie said in worry.

But Dipper just picked the book up and placed it on the ground before checking for people watching. He flipped one page and an eye-glass was in it. He then looked at the eye-glass and put it down before flipping another page and reading aloud.

"'It's hard to believe it's been six years since I began studying the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregon.'", Dipper read before flipping through the pages.

"What is all this?", Dipper puzzled.

Then, he stopped at a page that said "TRUST NO ONE" and started reading.

"'Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed. I'm being watched. I must hide this book before he finds it. Remember: in Gravity Falls there is no one you can trust.'", Dipper read before closing the journal.

"No one you can trust...", Dipper said to himself.

Suddenly, Mabel jumped up behind a log.

"HELLO!", Mabel shouted, spooking Dipper and Christine altogether.

"What'cha guys readin', some nerd thing?", Mabel asked, prompting Dipper to hide the journal behind his back.

"Uh, uh, it's nothing!", Dipper fibbed.

"'Uh, uh, it's nothing!'", Mabel imitated before laughing.

"What? Are you actually not gonna show me?", Mabel asked.

"I don't think she'll stop until you tell her.", Christine said in a tone of defeat.

Then, Dipper and Christie noticed Gompers nibbling the edge of the journal.

"Uhhh... Let's go somewhere private.", Dipper suggested.

Back in the Mystery Shack, Dipper, Mabel, Christie, and Mistie were all are in the living room.

"It's amazing! Grunkle Stan said I was being paranoid, but according to this book, Gravity Falls has this secret dark side.", Dipper said, showing Mabel a page.

"Whoa! Shut. Up!", Mabel shouted in surprise while pushing Dipper.

"And get this! After a certain point, the pages just... stop, like the guy who was writing it... mysteriously disappeared.", Dipper responded.

"Probably for a good reason, Dipper. He probably felt that going any further would be too dangerous, so we should just put the book back where it belongs and just forget all about it.", Christine warned.

But before Dipper could respond, a doorbell rang.

"Who's that?", Dipper puzzled.

"Well, time to spill the beans. Boop.", Mabel responded before knocking over a can of beans on the table with one finger.

"Beans. This girl's got a date! Woot woot!", Mabel shouted before falling backwards into the chair, giggling.

"You did what?", Christine asked in surprise.

"Let me get this straight: in the half hour we were gone, you already found a boyfriend?", Dipper asked.

"What can I say? I guess I'm just IRRESISTIBLLLLE!", Mabel responded.

"Oh. Well, congratulations, Mabel.", Christine beamed, really trying to focus on that, before the doorbell rang twice.

"Oh. Coming!", Mabel shouted before she ran out.

Dipper sat down in the chair and began to read the Journal when Stan walked in and saw him.

"What'cha reading there, slick?", Stan asked.

Panicked, Dipper threw the book under the seat cushion and grabbed a magazine.

"Oh! I was just catching up on, uh... Gold Chains For Old Men Magazine?", Dipper puzzled as he saw the cover of the magazine.

"That's a good issue.", Stan responded.

Just then, Mabel spoke up, standing next to someone draped in a black, busted jacket.

"Hey, family! Say hello to my new boyfriend!", Mabel grinned before said boyfriend turned to face Mabel, Dipper, Stan, and Christie (who shuddered in shivers from seeing him).

"'Sup?", Norman greeted.

"Hey...", Dipper greeted cautiously.

"How's it hanging?", Stan added.

"Mabel, where'd you find him?", Christie asked.

"We met at the cemetery. He's really deep.", Mabel responded as she felt his arm.

"Oh. Little muscle there. That's...what a surprise...", Mabel spoke in surprise.

"So, what's your name?", Dipper asked.

Nervous, Norman answered, trying to think of a name.

"Uh. Normal... MAN!", Norman responded.

"What? Normal man? What kind of name is that?", Christie asked suspiciously.

"He means Norman.", Mabel explained.

"Are you bleeding, Norman?", Dipper asked.

Norman noticed a red liquid dripping down his face and looked nervous.

"It's jam.", Norman responded.

Mabel gasped.

"I love jam! Look. At. This!", Mabel responded excitedly.

"So, you wanna go hold hands or... whatever?", Norman asked.

"Oh, oh, my goodness. Don't wait up!", Mabel giggled as she ran out.

Norman just pointed at Stan and Dipper before running into the wall several times on his way out.

"There was something about Norman that wasn't right. I decided to consult the journal.", Dipper narrated as it then showed him in the attic reading aloud from his journal.

"Known for their pale skin and bad attitudes these creatures are often mistaken for... teenagers?! Beware Gravity Falls's nefarious...", Dipper began before gasping upon coming to a stark realization about Norman, who he saw in place of a picture of a zombie in the journal page.

"'Sup.", Norman said.

"ZOMBIE!", Dipper shouted, an echo sounding two times, unaware that Stan was in the bathroom.

"Somebody say 'crombie'? What is that, crombie? That's not even a word. You're losing your mind.", Stan said to himself.

Back in the attic, Dipper looked out the window to see Norman walking towards Mabel with outstretched arms while moaning.

"I like you.", Mabel grinned.

"Oh, no! Mabel!", Dipper shouted in panic.

Act III

"No, no, Mabel, watch out!", Dipper shouted.

But Norman has already put his hands around Mabel's neck.

"AHHHHH!", Dipper screamed in fright.

But then, Norman removed arms from her, revealing a flower necklace, earning Mabel's gasp.

"Daisies? You scallywag...", Mabel grinned.

"Is my sister really dating a zombie, or am I just going nuts?", Dipper asked to himself.

Who should answer but Soos, who was screwing in a lightbulb, earning Dipper's gasp.

"It's a dilemma, to be sure. I couldn't help but overhear you talkin' aloud to yourself in this empty room.", Soos stated.

"Soos, you've seen Mabel's boyfriend. He's gotta be a zombie, right?", Dipper asked out of concern.

"Hmm. How many brains didja see the guy eat?", Soos asked.

"Zero...", Dipper sighed, looking down.

"Look, dude, I believe you. I'm always noticing weird stuff in this town. Like the mailman? Pretty sure that dude's a werewolf.", assured Soos.

Then, it went to a flashback of a hairy mailman walking by Soos, who was eating his lunch outside. As soon as the mailman passed, Soos scooted away from him, suspicious, before it went back to the present.

"But ya gotta have evidence. Otherwise, people are gonna think you're a major league cuckoo clock.", Soos warned.

"As always, Soos, you're right.", Dipper concurred with a slight nod.

"My wisdom is both a blessing and a curse.", Soos commented.

Just then, Stan's voice called out.

"Soos! The portable toilets are clogged again!", Stan shouted.

"I am needed elsewhere.", Soos said before he started backing out backwards.

"My sister could be in trouble. It was time to get some evidence.", Dipper narrated.

First off, Dipper started filming Mabel and Norman in the park, the former of which tossed a frisbee at Norman, who failed to catch it and fell over, much to Dipper's perplexity as he peeked away from the camera out of surprise. Second, Norman burst his hand through a door window to open it from the inside and let Mabel inside the diner. Of course, while trying to follow Mabel, Norman stumbled around and crashed while Dipper looked out from behind the menu. And finally, Mabel and Norman were frolicking in a field when the latter inadvertently fell into an open grave and crawled out, hand first, screaming. Then, he paused and looked at Mabel, making each other laugh.

"I'd seen enough.", Dipper narrated.

Then, it went back to the shack's gift shop, Wendy noticing how tense Christie was getting as she narrated.

"While that happened, I was conflicted over how to feel for Mabel. Do I think she needs to stay as far away from him as possible? Yes. Do I also feel that Mabel deserves to be happy? Also, yes. It was like those wants contradict themselves at every turn!", Christine narrated as it showed her pacing around in the room.

"Something on your mind, Christie?", Wendy asked.

"My mind? I think I'm losing my mind. Apparently, now, Mabel's got a boyfriend. What's that about? What are they even up to? Now, at this point, I feel like Dipper expects me to kick her boyfriend out. And if I don't, I'm a traitor to him, but if I do, I'm a traitor to Mabel! Oh, and on top of that, his boyfriend said his name's "Normal Man". "NORMAL MAN!"! Who the heck uses that as a name, because he's clearly not human and he's trying to fit in?! Normal Man is NOT A HUMAN NA...!", Christie panicked before it went right to reality with Christie as panicked as before while pacing.

"Are you sure you're okay?", Wendy asked.

"Where do I start?! Mabel found a boyfriend to go on a date with. I'm supposed to be happy for her, but her date turns out to be some kind of stranger that's less than an ideal date! For all I know, he might as well be a zombie that's here to eat her brain! I mean, he's probably not it, but still...! And I don't know what to do...", Christie moaned exasperatedly.

"Well, if that's how you feel, maybe you should tell Mabel.", Wendy advised.

"I can't do that! I still don't know how to feel about all this. And what if I wind up starting a fight...?", Christie asked.

"I don't know. But if you don't try, you'd still feel conflicted.", Wendy responded.

This made Christie widen her eyes.

"When you put it that way..., you're right. Thanks, Wendy. I can always count on your advice.", Christie responded as she hugged her before going upstairs.

"What can I say? She's the smart one. But little did I know that as I was going upstairs...", Christie narrated.

In Mabel and Dipper's room, unaware that Christie was going upstairs about to tell Mabel, she saw Dipper entering the room.

"Dipper?", Christie puzzled.

Cautiously, she leaned in and overheard Dipper talking with Mabel.

"Mabel. We've gotta talk about Norman.", Dipper said.

"Isn't he the best? Check out this giant smooch mark he gave me!", Mabel said, showing her cheek, which had a red spot on it, frightening Dipper.

"Ha, ha! Gullible. It was just an accident with the leaf blower!", Mabel explained.

Then, it showed Mabel with a leaf blower moments earlier.

"Kissing practice!", Mabel spoke eagerly before Leaning in toward the leaf blower, but then it sucked in the picture and her face along with it; at this point, with the leaf blower stuck to her face, she ran around, muffled as she panicked.

"AHHH! Turn it off! Turn it off!", Mabel shouted before it then went back to the present.

"That was fun.", Mabel grinned.

"So, that's where the leaf-blower went.", Christie realized with a whisper.

But then, Dipper spoke to Mabel about an urgent discovery.

"No, Mabel, listen! I'm trying to tell you that Norman is not what he seems!", Dipper warned, showing her the Journal.

Mabel gasped.

"You think he might be a vampire? That would be so awesome!", Mabel spoke giddily.

"Guess again, sister. SHA-BAM!", Dipper shouted, holding the book open to the Gnomes page.

"Agh!", Mabel reacted in shock.

Then, Dipper looked at the journal and realized his mistake.

"Oh, wait. I'm-I'm sorry...", Dipper apologized, flipping to the Undead page.

"Sha-bam!", Dipper said.

"A zombie? That is not funny, Dipper.", Mabel scolded.

"Yeah. They don't even look like Norman.", Christie whispered to herself.

"I'm not joking! It all adds up: the bleeding, the limp. He never blinks! Have you noticed that?", Dipper asked.

"Maybe he's blinking when you're blinking.", Mabel guessed.

"Mabel, remember what the book said about Gravity Falls? Trust no one!", Dipper warned.

"Well, what about me, huh? Why can't you trust me? Beep bop!", Mabel asked, putting on her star earrings, neither of the twins aware that their conversation at this point was becoming more than Christie could handle, her eyes watering.

"Mabel, he's gonna eat your brain!", Dipper shouted, shaking her.

But Mabel pushed him away.

"Dipper, listen to me. Norman and I are going on a date at five o'clock, and I'm gonna be ADORABLE, and he's gonna be DREAMY...,", Mabel began, already pushing Dipper out of the room.

"Bu-bu-but—", Dipper stuttered; but Mabel was NOT having it.

"And I am not gonna let you ruin it with one of your crazy CONSPIRACIES!", Mabel shouted, slamming the door.

"STOP! STOP IT! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!", Christie shouted before rushing all the way downstairs, crying with her hands in her eyes.

"What just happened?", Dipper puzzled.

"Oh, poor Christie. I should go talk to her.", Mabel said, concerned for Christie before running downstairs, leaving the dejected Dipper behind as he sighed and sat down.

"What am I gonna do?", Dipper asked worriedly.

As for Mabel, she went down to the basement, which is where Christie was seen sobbing softly in her knees while all balled up on the couch as Mistie comforted her.

"Christie? Are you okay?", Mabel asked.

But Christie, who was sobbing, only shook her head in response.

"Oh... Do you want me to sit by you?", Mabel asked.

In response, Christie nodded with Mabel sitting next to her just as the former was starting to finish sobbing.

"A-Are you done fighting?", Christie asked.

"Uh, actually we just finished before you panicked and ran down here. Sorry if we hurt you somehow.", Mabel apologized.

"Well..., it's not all your fault. I haven't told you why Mistie and I hate fighting up to that point. Back when Mistie and I had parents, they used to fight all the time. It was so unbearable for us that we ran to our rooms and cried out our tears in sorrow. We were never truly happy because they were never happy together. One day, it was too much. Our mom and dad divorced and... things have never been the same again ever since... That's why we've hated fighting. Every time something like this happens, it always reminds me of that terrible day that Mom and Dad divorced from each other.", Christie explained.

"Oh, you poor things. I had no idea.", Mabel gasped in concern and shock.

"Well..., now you do.", Christie sighed before Mabel hugged her.

"I promise Christie, I will never fight with my brother ever again.", Mabel promised.

But Christie knew that this promise may be an impossible one to keep. After all, everyone fights. And that's the one part she hates the most. Still, Mabel does seem genuine in her resolve. Either that, or it was her cute face. Nevertheless, Christine grinned to Mabel and returned the gesture.

"Pinky swear?", Christie asked, holding out her pinky.

"Pinky swear.", Mabel responded, holding out her own pinky.

Then, the two clasped pinkies with each other, both smiling.

Later, it went to the clock, which told the time at 5:00 just as the doorbell rang. By that point, Mabel raced downstairs as she pulled on her sweater.

"Coming!", Mabel shouted before she then opened the door and saw Norman.

"Hey, Norman. How do I look?", Mabel asked, showing him her sweater, which had a cat face on it as well as the words, "Meow Wow!" on it.

"Shiny...", Norman commented.

"You always know what to say!", Norman said before she walked off with him, much to Dipper's sadness/concern as he started watching the video he collected.

"Soos was right. I don't have any real evidence.", Dipper sighed sadly as the video showed Mabel teaching Norman hopscotch, but he only fell over.

Then, he fast-forwarded to Mabel and Norman with the latter's arm around Mabel.

"I guess I can be kind of paranoid sometimes and—", Dipper began as he saw on the tape, Norman's hand fell off.

Norman glanced around and then reattached it.

"Wait, WHAT?!", Dipper exclaimed before he rewound the tape and watched it again.

In shock, he screamed and tipped the chair backwards.

"I was right! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!", Dipper shouted as he raced outside, just passing by Christie as she was headed downstairs and saw that in his hurry, he failed to notice that he had dropped his journal.

"Dipper?", Christie puzzled.

"Grunkle Stan! Grunkle Stan! Grunkle Stan!", Dipper shouted as he rushed toward Stan just as he was on a stage in front of a bunch of tourists, speaking to the crowd.

"And here we have Rock that looks like a face rock: the rock that looks like a face.", Stan said.

"Does it look like a rock?", an unnamed hillbilly asked.

"No, it looks like a face.", Stan explained.

"Is it a face?", the fat tourist asked.

"It's a rock that looks like a face!", Stan corrected.

Just then, Dipper rushed over to his grunkle.

"Over here! Grunkle Stan!", Dipper shouted.

"For the fifth time! It's-it's not an actual face!", Stan only said, much to Dipper's panic.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Christie found the journal.

"All that happened because of that stupid journal. I have half a mind to toss it out and away from this shack right now...!", Christie glared.

But as she prepared to toss it out through the window, she hesitated. Soon, she refrained and sighed in defeat.

"Who am I kidding? I can't do it.", Christie said in defeat.

"That said, I still don't know what good ever comes from that journal.", Christie moaned.

Soon, as she started to read it, she became a bit intrigued once she got to the gnomes page.

"Gnomes? I wonder what's up with them.", Christie pondered before she started reading the entry.

"'Gnomes: little men of the Gravity Falls Forest. Weaknesses: unknown. Whenever they need a new gnome queen, they tend to go around disguised as teenagers to find human women and...'", Christie began before gasping in horror upon reading the rest of the entry.

"'TURN THEM INTO GNOMES AS WELL AS THEIR NEW QUEENS'?! I have to go save Mabel!", Christie panicked, dropping the journal.

But then she went back for the journal.

"Oop. Can't forget this.", Christie said before running out again.

Meanwhile, Mabel and Norman were now in the woods.

"Finally, we're alone.", Mabel said.

"Yes. Alone...", Norman responded, walking right behind her.

Back to the Mystery Shack, Dipper tried unsuccessfully to get Stan's attention.

"Stan! Stan!", Dipper shouted, waving.

But then, he turned and saw Christie speaking to Wendy, who was driving up in a golf cart.

"Christie?", Dipper puzzled, as panicked as he is, before he ran over to her

"Wendy! Wendy! Wendy! I need to borrow the golf cart! It's very important! Mabel could be in big trouble, and I have to go save her!", Christie shouted urgently.

"You mean we have to go save her!", Dipper urged.

"Dipper?", Christie asked.

"I don't know what got you so worked up about her, but I guess we have the same goal. We have to get to Mabel and fast!", Dipper urged.

Wendy then gave Dipper the key and walked off.

"I don't know what's going on, but try not to hit any pedestrians.", Wendy responded.

Both Dipper and Christie got in before the former started to drive, but Soos stopped them.

"Soos?", Christie asked.

"Dudes, this is for the zombies.", Soos responded, giving both Dipper and Christie shovels.

"Thanks.", Dipper thanked.

Soos even held up a couple of baseball bats.

"And this is in case you two see a piñata.", Soos said.

Puzzled as they are, the two took the bats.

"Uh... Thanks?", Dipper asked in surprise before he drove off.

"Better safe than sorry!", Soos shouted.

Along the way, Christie spoke to Dipper.

"Dipper, here. You forgot this.", Christie said, handing it back to Dipper.

"Thanks.", Dipper responded.

"No problem.", Christie responded.

Back to the woods...

"Uh, Mabel, now that we've gotten to know each other, there's... there's something I should tell you.", Norman said, exhaling.

"Oh, Norman, you can tell me anything!", assured Mabel.

"Please be a vampire, please be a vampire!", Mabel thought excitedly.

"All right, just... just don't freak out, okay? Just... just keep an open mind, be cool!", Norman said before he unzipped his coat and threw it off; underneath were five gnomes standing on top of each other.

The top gnome spoke.

"Is this weird? Is this too weird? Do you need to sit down?", Jeff asked.

Mabel stared at the gnomes in total shock.

"R-r-right, I'll explain. So! We're gnomes. First off. Get that one outta the way.", Jeff introduced.

"Uh...", Mabel began, dumbfounded.

"I'm Jeff, and here we have Carson, Steve, Jason and... I'm sorry, I always forget your name.", Jeff greeted.

"Shmebulock.", Shmebulock responded, making Jeff snap his fingers.

"Shmebulock! Yes! Anyways, long story short, us gnomes have been lookin' for a new queen! Right, guys?", Jeff asked as Mabel sat down and slapped her forehead in disbelief.

"Queen! Queen! Queen!", the 4 gnomes chanted.

"Heh. So what do you say?", Jeff asked, tapping Steve with his foot before the gnomes worked together to make "Norman" kneel in a proposing fashion.

"Will you join us in holy matrignomey? Matri...matri-mo-ny! Blah! Can't talk today!", Jeff asked.

But Mabel only inhaled sharply.

"Look... I'm sorry, guys. You're really sweet, but, I'm a girl, and you're gnomes, and it's like, 'what'? Yikes...", Mabel explained.

Frankly, the gnomes looked sad.

"We understand. We'll never forget you, Mabel.", Jeff began before Mabel smiled.

"Because we're gonna kidnap you.", Jeff added.

"Huh?", Mabel added in puzzled shock.

Suddenly, Jeff yelled and lunged at her with a jump, making poor Mabel scream.

Act IV

Meanwhile, Christie and Dipper were driving through the woods.

"Don't worry, Mabel! we'll save you from that zombie!", Dipper shouted.

"Or Gnomes! Whichever comes first!", Christie added.

"Gnomes? Really?", Dipper puzzled.

"I'll explain on the way.", Christie responded.

"Help!", Mabel shouted from far away.

"On second thought, NO TIME!", Christie shouted.

"Hold on!", Dipper urged.

Meanwhile, the gnomes were trying to pin down Mabel just as Dipper and Christie arrived.

"Gnomes! Dead ahead!", Christie shouted.

"Wait, what?", Dipper puzzled.

"The more you struggle, the more awkward this is gonna be for everybody! Just, ha ha, okay. Get her arm there, Jason!", Jeff said as Jason was biting Mabel's sweater arm.

"Let go of me!", Mabel shouted before she punched Jason off and kicked Steve away.

Steve bounced around and then stood upright before puking a rainbow.

"What the heck is going on here?!", Dipper exclaimed in surprise just as Jason passed by, hissing at him and Christine.

"Dipper! Christine! Norman turned out to be a bunch of gnomes! And they're total jerks! Hair! Hair! Hair!", Mabel shouted as Steve pulled her hair.

"Gnomes? Huh, I was way off.", Dipper admitted as he took the journal out of his vest and read the relevant page aloud.

"'Gnomes: little men of the Gravity Falls Forest. Weaknesses: unknown.'", Dipper read.

"And it's about to get worse. Apparently, they go around disguised as humans, looking for human women to turn into gnomes so they could be their gnome queen!", Christine added in fright just as when Dipper lowered the book, he and Christine saw that the gnomes have managed to tie Mabel to the ground.

"Aw, come on!", Mabel exclaimed.

Emboldened, Dipper walked up to Jeff.

"Hey, HEY! Let go of my sister!", Dipper demanded.

"Oh! Ha ha, hey, there! Um, you know, this is all really just a big misunderstanding. You see, your sister's not in danger. She's just marrying all one thousand of us and becoming our gnome queen for all eternity! Isn't that right, honey?", Jeff asked.

"You guys are butt-faces!", Mabel only shouted angrily before one of the gnomes covered her mouth.

Enraged, Dipper held up the shovel he brought, pointing it at Jeff.

"Give her back right now, or else!", Dipper warned.

"You think you can stop us, boy? You have no idea what we're capable of. The gnomes are a powerful race! Do not trifle with the—", Jeff began as Christine began to tear up again like before.

But before he could finish, Dipper casually tossed him away with the shovel.

"AH!", Jeff screamed upon being flung slightly to the ground.

"Oh. I thought we were going to have an argument like back when you tried to warn Mabel.", Christine said in relief as Dipper cut the ropes, freeing Mabel.

"Yah!", Mabel shouted as she kicked the gnomes away with the trio getting in the cart.

"He's getting away with our queen! No, no, no!", Jeff shouted.

"Seatbelt.", Dipper said before both Christine and Mabel buckled as Dipper backed up and then drove away.

"You've messed with the wrong creatures, boy! Gnomes of the forest: ASSEMBLE!", Jeff shouted before various gnomes came out and stacked up.

"Hurry, before they come after us!", Mabel shouted.

"I wouldn't worry about it. See their little legs? Those suckers are tiny!", Dipper smirked.

"But how else would they have disguised themselves as Norman? If all the other gnomes stacked up, we wouldn't stand a chance! That's why we have to get out of here now!", Christine urged.

Then, Dipper stopped the cart upon hearing a stomping sound. He, Mabel, and Christine all turned to notice a giant stacked gnome at the cart.

"Dang.", Mabel said.

"GNOME MONSTER!", Christine shouted.

Jeff was on the top, using the gnomes' hats like levers.

"All right, teamwork, guys. Like we practiced.", Jeff said before the gnomes growled.

"Move, MOVE!", Mabel urged before Dipper drove the cart away just as the gnomes smashed their arm down and it broke.

The gnomes ran frantically back into position and they chased the kids again.

"Come back with our queen!", Jeff shouted, knocking down some trees around him and the other gnomes.

"It's getting closer!", Mabel shouted, looking back.

Then, the Gnome Giant threw several gnomes at the cart. Once they landed, they chewed at the top tarp of the golf cart and caused major havoc. One gnome even hung from the side of the cart.

"Ha ha!", the gnome chuckled before Christine tightened her hand into a fist.

"I don't usually like fighting of any kind, but...", Christine began before she elbow punched a gnome off.

Then, Shmebulock jumped up behind Dipper, who grabbed him and slammed him into the steering wheel out of annoyance.

"Shmebulock...", Shmebulock groaned before he fell out of the cart.

Then, another gnome jumped onto the cart with a screech and clawed Dipper's face.

"I'll save you, Dipper!", Mabel urged before she repeatedly punched the gnome off of Dipper's face and the gnome fell off, but not without Dipper's hat.

"Thanks, Mabel...", Dipper thanked, dazed from the punches.

"Don't mention it.", Mabel responded.

Just then, however, the gnome giant picked up a tree and threw it in their path.

"Look out!" Mabel shouted out with Christie screaming in terror.

Then as they screamed, the image of them screaming froze as they ran into the screen.

"And that's how we wound up being chased by a creature of unimaginable horror: gnomes.", Dipper narrated as this time, his face was moving as well as Mabel's and Christine's.

"Do you understand now?", Christie asked before the camera moved up and down as if nodding.

"Good. Now that we're all caught up…", Mabel began.

Dipper and Christie both widen their eyes in horror upon realizing what it could mean.

"No, no, no. Don't unpause the video.", Dipper said in worry.

But it was in vain as suddenly, the chase resumed.

"Too late!", Christie shouted before screaming.

The good news is, the cart went underneath the tree and made it through. But the bad news is, the cart overturned in the process, landing next to the Mystery Shack just as Wendy, Mistie, and Soos all came out and saw Dipper, Mabel, and Christie crawling out of the cart.

"Guys, what happened?!", Wendy asked in shock.

"Were you attacked by zombies?", Soos asked.

"No. But we were attacked by...", Christie began before noticing the approaching gnomes and gasping.

"Gnomes!", Christie shouted, pointing to the gnome giant with Wendy and Soos noticing this in shock.

"What the heck is that?!", Wendy responded.

"What's happenin' here?", Soos asked.

"It's a long story.", Christie responded.

"Stay back, man!", Dipper urged before he threw the shovel at the gnome giant.

But said gnome giant only punched the shovel in mid-air.

Dipper and Mabel grabbed each other as they screamed while Christie and Mistie both turned to notice a leaf blower closest to them, though not without then noticing someone in a silver jumpsuit picking something up as well as him turning to see one of the stray gnomes noticing him.

"What are you looking at?", the stranger puzzled before vanishing.

"That was weird.", Christie commented.

"Uh, where's Grunkle Stan?!", Dipper asked in worry.

"Unfortunately, back at the shack trying to wow customers with some kind of distracting object.", Wendy responded.

Speaking of Stan, he was in the shack with some tourists, holding up a swirly pattern on a stick.

"Behold! The world's most distracting object.", Stan announced, amazing the tourists as he pulled the cloth off hit and then pulling the string, causing it to spin.

"Oooh...", the tourists said in awe.

"Just try to look away, you can't! I can't even remember what I was talking about.", Stan admitted.

Back outside...

"Well, on the bright side, at least there won't be any panic in the shack.", Christie said.

"But what do these gnomes want, dude?", Soos asked.

"It's the end of the line, kids! Mabel, marry us before we do something crazy!", Jeff shouted.

"Wait. They want to marry you?", Wendy asked, surprised, earning her nervous giggling.

"There's gotta be a way out of this!", Dipper said in worry.

As he was about to pull out his journal, Mabel knew that there's only one possible way out.

"I gotta do it.", Mabel said, stepping up toward him.

"What?! Mabel, don't do this! Are you crazy?", Dipper asked in worry.

"Trust me.", Mabel urged.

"What?", Dipper whispered.

"Dipper, just this once. Trust me!", Mabel whispered.

"I think we should trust her. She knows what she's doing.", Christie suggested.

Dipper glanced at gnomes and then Mabel before backing away.

"What's the plan here?", Wendy asked.

"You'll see.", Christie assured.

"All right, Jeff. I'll marry you.", Mabel said.

"Hot dog! Help me down there, Jason!", Jeff shouted excitedly before he climbed down to her with Jason, Andy, Mike, and the other gnomes' help.

"Thanks, Andy! All right, left foot, there we go, watch those fingers, Mike.", Jeff said as he climbed down before he approached Mabel and held out a diamond ring.

"Eh? Eh?", Jeff asked eagerly before Mabel held out her hand, allowing Jeff to put the ring on her hand.

"Bada-bing, bada-bam! Now let's get you back into the forest, honey!", Jeff beamed.

"You may now kiss the bride!", Mabel smirked.

"Well, don't mind if I do.", Jeff spoke before then leaning up to kiss Mabel.

Mabel leaned out to kiss Jeff, but then, she took out a leaf blower from Christine, who handed it to her.

"Ah! Hey, hey, wait a minute! Whoa, whoa! Wh-what's goin' on?!", Jeff exclaimed before he got sucked half-way into the leaf-blower.

"That's for lying to me!", Mabel shouted before she increased the sucking power.

"THAT'S for breaking my heart!", Mabel exclaimed.

Jeff was now slowly getting sucked in further.

"Ow! My face!", Jeff exclaimed.

"And THIS is for messing with my brother!", Mabel shouted while aiming at the puzzled Gnome Giant.

"WHOO! Go, Mabel!", Wendy cheered.

"Go Full Blast on these gnomes!", Soos added.

Then, Mabel turned to Dipper.

"Wanna do the honors?", Mabel asked.

"On three!", Dipper responded.

"One, two, three!", the twins counted before setting the leaf-blower to forward and blasting Jeff straight towards the gnome monster, which exploded into separate gnomes, scattering all across the forest.

"I'll get you back for this!...", Jeff shouted as he flew in the distance while the rest of the gnomes screamed as they fell.

"Who's giving orders? I need orders!", one gnome shouted.

"My arms are tired.", another added.

Then, Mabel started moving the leaf blower back and forth, blowing the gnomes away.

"Anyone else want some?", Dipper smirked before all the gnomes ran off on all fours, except for one that wound up caught in a six-pack holder.

As he struggled, Gompers picked the six-pack holder up, bleated, and ran off as the trapped gnome screamed.

"Whoa, dude. That was kinda hard-core.", Wendy said.

"You think so?", Dipper asked.

"Yeah. It's not every day you fight some gnomes who have it out for your sister.", Wendy replied.

"Why did they want Mabel to marry 'em, anyway?", Soos asked.

"You have no idea.", Christie responded.

"Hey, Dipper? I, um...I'm sorry for ignoring your advice. You really were just looking out for me.", Mabel apologized.

"Oh, don't be like that. You saved our butts back there.", Dipper responded.

"I guess I'm just sad that my first boyfriend turned out to be a bunch of gnomes.", Mabel said.

"Look on the bright side. Maybe the next one will be a vampire!", Dipper guessed.

"Oh, you're just saying that!", Mabel giggled, hitting Dipper in the arm slightly.

"Awkward sibling hug?", Dipper asked, holding out her arms.

"Awkward sibling hug.", Mabel responded before the two hugged.

"Pat, pat.", Dipper and Mabel said in unison as they patted each other while hugging.

"You guys didn't run over anyone, did you?", Wendy asked.

"No, it's more like we were running away from someone.", Christie responded as she, Mistie, Wendy, Soos, Dipper, and Mabel all walked into the Mystery Shack.

"Yeesh. You two get hit by a bus or something? Ahah!", Stan chuckled a bit before Dipper and Mabel only started to walk away.

"Geez, Stan. They look like they've had enough of a bad day already.", Wendy glared with concern.

Taking notice of this, Stan began to take her point.

"Uh, hey! W-wouldn't you know it? Um, I accidentally overstocked some inventory, so, uh... how's about each of you take one item from the gift shop? On the house, y'know?", Stan offered.

"Really?", Mabel asked.

Dipper, however, folded his arms.

"What's the catch?", Dipper asked.

"The catch is, do it before I change my mind. Now, take something.", Stan urged.

So, Dipper and Mabel started doing so, though not without looking around at some items.

Dipper found a blue pine tree hat from one of the shelves, picked it up, and looked in a mirror.

"Hmm. That oughta do the trick!", Dipper grinned.

"You know, it looks good on you.", Wendy grinned.

This earned Dipper's blush as he looked to her.

"Thanks...", Dipper stuttered with a nervous chuckle.

"And I will have a... GRAPPLING HOOK! Yes!", Mabel exclaimed as she grabbed an item from the box, hid it, and twirled around.

"Wouldn't she rather have, like, a doll, or something?", Stan asked to Dipper.

As if to answer, Mabel fired the grappling hook up at the ceiling; it caught and pulled her up.

"GRAPPLING HOOK!", Mabel shouted.

"Fair enough!", Stan grinned.

"You go, Mabel!", Soos cheered.

Later, at night, in Mabel and Dipper's bedroom, the latter was writing while the former jumped on her bed, laughing.

"This journal told me there was no one in Gravity Falls I could trust. But when you battle a hundred gnomes side-by-side with someone, you realize that they've probably always got your back.", Dipper narrated as he looked at Mabel, who shot her grappling hook and reeled it back with a stuffed animal attached.

"Hey, Mabel, could you get the light?", Dipper asked.

"I'm on it!", Mabel responded before she knocked the light out the window with the grappling hook.

"It works!", Mabel shouted before she and Dipper laughed.

"Grappling hook...", Mabel grinned.

"Our uncle told us there was nothing strange about this town. But who knows what other secrets are waiting to be unlocked?", Mabel narrated in a mystifying manner as Stan walked in holding a lantern.

He went into the gift shop where Christie and Mistie were waiting for him.

"Is the coast clear?", Stan asked.

Then, Christie and Mistie nodded to him.

"Good.", Stan responded before he put in a code into the vending machine. The machine opened and Christie and Mistie both walked inside first with Stan the last to enter inside, looking side-to-side.

"If only people knew the truth...", Stan said to himself before closing the vending machine behind him.

A/N: Right about now, you're probably wondering why I posted this story. Well, let's just say that it's a request from someone who wanted to see a Gravity Falls fanfic of my own. So, this is the result. Pretty mysterious, right? Well, what convinced me to make it is the fact that that someone mentioned it'd take place 30 years before my Amphibia and Owl House stories. Bet you'll know what that means. And don't worry. I'll still work on other stories along the way, a rewrite of "The Mighty B! So Happy Together" being one of them. Oh, and here's the cast of the main characters of the story below.

Jason Ritter - Dipper Pines

Kristen Schaal - Mabel Pines

Charlene Yi - Christie Pines

Linda Cardellini - Wendy Corduroy

Alex Hirsch - Stan Pines/Soos

And for now, that's all.
